Woodward no doubt quoted Trump accurately, but news reports were universally false. "the coronavirus was 'more deadly' than 'even your strenuous flus' and 'it goes through the air.' He said, "This is deadly stuff." He also said, "a lot of people think it goes away with in April with the heat". And the US was in "great shape" by comparison with many other countries. That was the upshot of what was said. February 7, 2020. It was the media's big highlight.That is a true statement, but lacks the context of the spread. On February 7, the US had yet to experience its first Covid death. Moreover, it would be MARCH 1 before we were aware of any Covid death. That is a pretty big item to leave out of these interviews with Woodward. The US had yet to see its first death?11 days after Trump's comments, Fauci said, "I don't think people should be frightened, the risk right now, today, currently, is really relatively low for the American public. But that could change, because what's going on outside of the US, particularly obviously in China . . . this could evolve into a global pandemic . . . which would then have significant implications for us, so although we don't want people to be worried now, I think we need to realize that this could change. So, right now don't worry about it, be more concerned about influenza . . ."
